Course Descriptions

Introduction
The Music Department of Brigham Young University-Idaho is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

The Mission Statement of the Department of Music is to:

Use music to further the Lord's work.

Promote music that is virtuous, lovely, of good report and praiseworthy.

Prepare music majors for successful music-related careers.

Teach musical excellence as a model for the pursuit of excellence in life.

Help students use their musical gifts to serve the Lord, their families, and their communities.

The department is housed in the Eliza R. Snow Center for the Performing Arts, a beautiful and well-equipped facility. The faculty and facilities provide a superior environment for the serious student of music. In addition, the department offers a diversity of opportunities for the non-music major to develop musical skills.

Students may obtain the following baccalaureate degrees: B.S. in Music (685), B.A. in Music (687), Bachelor of Musical Arts (690), and B.M. in Music Education (890). The versatile Musical Arts degree is designed for students wishing to tailor their courses in areas such as performance, composition, pedagogy, etc. The B.S. and the B.A. in Music are for students desiring to obtain a broad education with an emphasis in music. The BM in Music Education is for students intending to teach in the public schools. The two-year Associate in Piano Pedagogy (358) is offered for the student who plans to teach in the home after graduation. Music Therapy students may complete their first two years of study at BYU-Idaho. For details please inquire at the Music Department office.

Ensembles
BYU-Idaho has outstanding orchestras, bands, and choirs (auditioned and non-auditioned) whose membership includes music majors and non-music majors. See http://www.byui.edu/music/ for more information.

Auditions
Auditions for all ensembles are held at the beginning of each semester. Audition scheduling is done in the foyer of the Snow Center for the Performing Arts.

Music Lessons
Fifty-two music faculty provide training for both music majors and non-music majors.

INFORMATION FOR MUSIC MAJORS

Music Major Status
BYU-Idaho Department of Music has an open enrollment policy for all freshmen and transfer students desiring to pursue a degree in music. All are initially considered "Prospective Music Majors." Admission as a "Music Major" and clearance for subsequent courses is contingent upon a Music Department review of the student's abilities and grades in the following areas: Music 196 (Music Theory 1), Music 194 (Aural Skills 1), Music 149A or B (Music Explorations), Music 256 (Piano Skills to gain piano proficiency), Music 155 or 160 (Applied Music), and ensemble participation. The number of sophomores admitted each year as "Music Majors" is limited by course and faculty resources. Students will be notified by June 1 of their music major status for the following fall semester. Transfer students are subject to the same review as freshmen.

Credit Requirements
Baccalaureate degrees at BYU-Idaho require 120 completed credit hours. Due to the comprehensive nature of the Music Education degree (890), there is no minor requirement. The Musical Arts degree (690), the B. A. (687), and the B. S. (685) require completion of a minor or two clusters. At the end of the freshman year an advising session with the student's advisor is required to set up the student's academic program for those pursuing the 690 degree. The Associate in Piano Pedagogy (358) requires 62 credit hours. Ensemble credit is required each semester of full-time registration regardless of accumulated total, except the semester of student teaching.

Instruments Acceptable for Majors
The following instruments may be chosen for those pursuing a degree in music: baritone, bassoon, cello, clarinet, flute, French horn, oboe, organ, percussion, piano, saxophone, string bass, trombone, trumpet, tuba, viola, violin, voice.

Advising
Faculty advisors are assigned on the basis of a student's instrument. For advising assignments contact the Music Department at (208)496-1259.

Course Sequence
See Music Department home page for recommended sequence of courses at http://www.byui.edu/music

It is assumed that all students pursuing a music degree will have developed skills in the following areas prior to their initial enrollment at BYU-Idaho. Deficiencies in any area must be remediated through successful completion of appropriate courses.

2) the ability to read music and a basic understanding of theory fundamentals (key signatures, scales, intervals, chord identification)

3) rudimentary technical skills on the piano including the ability to play simple four-part hymns and simple two-part pieces such as the "March in D Major" from the Anna Magdalena Bach Book

Juries
Each semester all music majors enrolled in Music 154, 155, 160, 260, 360, and 460 must stand a jury exam to determine final grades and achievement levels. Students will perform before faculty in their area and must successfully pass all juries as required in order to graduate.

Concert Attendance
